Delayed Ringing
Description
Delayed Ringing allows a line to start ringing a preset interval after the call starts flashing a line key. This is
helpful for co-workers that cover each other’s calls. For example, a secretary can have Delayed Ringing for
the lines that ring the boss’s telephone. If the boss doesn’t answer after the Delayed Ringing interval, the call
will start ringing the secretary’s extension.
Conditions
• None.
Default Setting
